In April of last year, I wrote a player profile about St. Louis Blues defenseman Jake Walman for Game Time. At the time, Walman was the new kid on the block, just like I was the latest St. Louisan in the city. I still feel like a St. Louisan, despite no longer being a full-time resident.
Walman’s first NHL goal happened at the right place at the right time. The Blues snapped a seven-game losing skid with a 3-1 win over the Vegas Golden Knights at the Enterprise Center on April 7, 2021.
